Chapter 445: Awakening of the Mind Sea

Splash!

Lith fell into water after feeling himself come out of a vortex.

He swam up and getting out of the water, he looked around, only to be surprised knowing he was once again back in the gray world or more correctly, the Astral World.

'Why do I end up in this place during each ascension?' Lith couldn't help but question.

He ended up here once during his ascension to Rank 3 something and after that it was around Rank 9 that he was here.

Previously, Lith's movements were restricted but now he felt like he could move around.

Lith started walking and decided to explore the Astral World and see what the matter was.

In this silent world, that felt as if it belonged to the undead, Lith, in a white robe, his silver hair, his pale face, it all seemed as if he was a ghost wandering around. The only thing being, he looked very handsome.

Wandering around, Lith ended up coming in front of a forest that mainly had large gray colored trees with black leaves. It seemed really creepy and had Lith not been a creature of the night, that is, a vampire, and also lived in the dark atmosphere of Nightingale, he wouldn't be able to roam so freely here and would definitely be scared.

Lith continued to walk forwards inside the forest as he had nothing better to do.

As he ventured deeper, he soon found strange magical fluctuations appearing here.

To see what it was, Lith went towards the area and finally came across a place that had white strings of some magical element fluctuating in the space in front of him.

As Lith analysed it, he soon found out that it wasn't just one string that was moving and that there were a chain of it in an orderly fashion.

The other strings were invisible and Lith started following it.

Soon, walking for a few minutes, Lith realized someone or something was guiding him towards something.

'Strange…' Lith couldn't help but think. It was definitely very strange to suddenly have someone guide you somewhere.

Lith changed his mind and decided to not follow it. He wasn't too curious about it and there was a saying,

"Curiosity killed the cat." Lith said softly.

Lith went in the opposite direction of these fluctuations and soon, he found there to be other strange fluctuations appearing.

He decided to ignore it and once again walked in the opposite direction.

But as he did so, more and more fluctuations appeared and this time, the strings weren't invisible.

'Yeah, it definitely seems like someone is calling me. The trap seems too obvious now.' Lith decided to not move.

He sat down on the ground and started meditating here, thinking of ways to find a way out of this place.

He came here against his will and he hoped to at least leave this place voluntarily.

*

In the Royal Castle, the ladies were watching Lith.

Emilia and Alexandra may have not realized that something was off with Lith, but Lilith, Lucy, and Arya did.

Arya looked at Lilith and asked, "his consciousness is not here, right?"

Lilith nodded her head lightly.

Arya then asked, "is it normal?"

Lilith shook her head and said, "I don't know. He shouldn't be there against his will, it never happened to me or Lucy and it probably must be the same for you as well. It's only him that keeps getting into that place without even knowing about it."

"Hmm?" Arya picked something up. "He has been there before?"

Lilith nodded. "Did you not notice a golden beam of light shooting up towards infinity?"

Arya's expression became serious as she heard that. "You mean that strange phenomenon that appeared last time… it was due to him?"

Lilith nodded again. "That's right. Even I have no idea how he ended up triggering such a big scene there."

Lucy, who was hearing all of this, asked, "what golden beam, mom?"

Lilith looked at Lucy and asked with a smile, "have you been to Astral World lately?"

Lucy shook her head.

"Then, did you feel something strange in your glabella in the past ten years?"

Lucy thought about it and said, "I did. But I thought I probably had a headache due to managing the continent and so I ignored it."

Lilith chuckled as she heard that. "My dear, there were a few things happening in the Astral World and the cause of it was your brother. You ignoring it was a pity. That phenomenon definitely was amazing to look at."

"What…" Lucy became speechless as she heard that. She didn't have a headache and missed something regarding her brother!? How did she do that!?

Lilith patted her head. She was sitting right beside her. "There, there, I saved a video of it. You can see it whenever you want."

"Where is it?" Lucy couldn't wait to see.

"If you watch it now, you'll miss what your brother is doing in the Astral World currently." Lilith smiled and answered.

"But mom, the world is too big. How will we be able to find him there?" Lucy asked.

Lilith was about to answer when…

"Umm… Mother-in-law…" Emilia couldn't help but interrupt them with a slight blush on her face.

She had never done such a thing before as it felt rude but she was really curious to know what was happening and couldn't help herself from interrupting them.

Lilith turned to look at Emilia and said with a smile, "You want to know what we are talking about, right?"

Emilia nodded lightly.

Alexandra, sitting beside her, added, "I also want to know."

Alexandra didn't want to interrupt the Queen and the Princess talking. It felt rude, but now that her sister Emilia did this, she also couldn't help but add.

Lilith looked at the two and said, "Well… Astral World is a place that only a few have access to. The only way to get there is to awaken your Mind Sea present in your glabella."

"Only a few people in this world are able to do that and there are too few records of this same thing. Currently, from this world, there's me, Lucy, Arya, Alex, Florencia, Darren, and Lucifer. With us being an exception, there's two or three more people that you don't know of and leaving aside these people, there's Lith."

Hearing all of that, something clicked Emilia and she asked, "is being a Supreme Rank the requirement to get into the Astral World? Hmm, but, if that's the case, Lith and Lucy shouldn't be there."

Emilia questioned but also answered herself at that very time.

Lilith explained further, "you don't need to be a Supreme Rank to get there. All you have to do is awaken your Mind Sea, which can only be done by cleansing your body, mind, and soul as well as having no regrets and a strong will."

"That's the traditional method and there's another way. It's to forcibly break into that world."

"Forcibly?" Alexandra questioned.

"That's right. If you're very strong, stronger than a Supreme Rank, you can simply break inside the Astral World and your Mind Sea would awaken automatically. However, there are risks to it. No one knows if your body would be able to handle the pressure inside the Astral World or not."

"Only your consciousness or sometimes your soul wanders there. Not your body. The body would be destroyed the moment it goes there if it's not strong enough."

Emilia and Alexandra both fell into deep thoughts.

Emilia thought about a lot of things and soon, he looked towards Arya and asked, "do you have no regrets?"

Arya shook her head. "I didn't have any when my Mind Sea awakened. I do have some now though."

"I see." Emilia didn't question Arya further.

Then, she thought about what regrets she herself may have and before thinking of that, she remembered that Lilith said one also needs to have their body, mind, and soul be cleansed.

This made her think, 'Am I not pure?'

Angels were holy and pure beings. They had no filth or dirty thoughts in them unlike others.

But, was Emilia really pure? She couldn't help but think.

Lilith, watching Emilia's expression change with each passing second, could tell what she was thinking about.

She smiled and said, "No need to think so much. You haven't awakened your Mind Sea yet because there was no one to guide you for it. I'll help you with it later. Same with you, Alexandra. Though you would need a lot of time to do that since you're a Rank 9 and not strong enough yet."

The two nodded their heads as they heard that.

"I understand. Thank you." Emilia said and Alexandra thanked Lilith as well.

"No need to thank me. The stronger my daughters are, the better it is." Lilith chuckled after saying so.

"Anyway, let's go to the Astral World for now or we'll miss out on things. Arya, Lucy, give me your hands." Lilith held Arya and Lucy's hand and closed her eyes.

Lilith chanted a few things and soon, the three people's consciousness went inside the Astral World and they all arrived in one place.

Standing on top of a mountain, Lilith, Lucy, and Arya had the view of the vast Astral World.

Lilith smiled and said, "let's see what baby is upto. Let's go."

…..

A/N: My health is getting better and I'll finally be able to put out 3 chapters everyday. But I won't promise you anything regarding it since I am not really sure if I'll be able to manage or not.

Anywho, I'll try my best.

A bit of heads up:

War arc is over and the current volume will soon end. It'll soon be Elven Continent arc and probably date arc. I'll see what fits best.

Have a good day everyone!
